Bhaktapur Sightseeing Tour

Bhaktapur Durbar SquareSituated at an altitude of 1,401m. Bhaktapur
covers an area of 4 square miles. Shaped like a conch-shell. Bhaktapur means
the city of devotees. The main square of the city contains innumerable temples
and other architectural showpieces such as lion-gate, the golden-gate, the
statue of King Bhupatindra Malla. The palace of 55 windows. Beyond the urban
milieu of the three ancient cities of Kathmandu Valley, lies a wealth of
culture and nature waiting to be discovered. Ensconced amidst the lush greenery
are magnificent monuments that are specimens of outstanding artistic
workmanship.. Square is an assortment of pagoda and
shikhara-style temples grouped around a fifty-five-window palace of brick and
wood. The square is part of a charming valley as it highlights the idols of
ancient kings perched on top of stone monoliths, the guardian deities looking
out from their sanctuaries, the wood carvings in very place - struts, lintels,
tympanums, gateways and windows - all seem to form a well orchestrated symphony

Lion Gate ( The city protected by Lion)
The massive gate that dates back to 1696 AD is guarded by two huge statues of
lions at the either sides. The dreadful stone image of Lord Shiva and the
fearful image of Ugrachandi attract the tourists from far off.

The Golden Gate
The Golden gate is said to be the most beautiful and richly molded specimen of
its kind in the entire world. The door is a embellished with monsters and
mythical creatures of marvelous intricacy. The Golden Gate was erected by King
Ranjit Malla and is the entrance to the main courtyard of the Palace of
fifty-five windows.

The Palace of Fifty Five Windows
Keshav Narayan Chowk is the Northern-most part of the Patan Darbar palace
complex, with the dominating Degutale temple next to it. This magnificent
palace was built during the reign of King Yakshay Malla in AD 1427 and was
subsequently remodeled by King Bhupatindra Malla in the seventeenth century.
Among the brick walls with their gracious setting and sculptural design, is a
balcony with fifty-five Windows, considered a unique masterpiece of
woodcarving.

on a column facing the palace. This is considered the most magnificent statue
among the many statues inthesquares.

Nyatapola
This is the most famous pagoda of Nepal, which was built in 1702 A.D by
Bhupatendra Mala. This temple was dedicated to Siddhilaxmi, the tantric mother
goddess of supreme power. Nyatapola in Newari means a five tiered symbolizing
five basic elements - water, earth,fire,wind and sky.

Pashupati Temple
According to a folklore, a Bhaktapur native who was a great devotee of Lord
Pashupati, had a dream in which lord Shiva told him to build a temple for him
so that he could move into it. He obeyed this command and thus the temple came
into existence.

Vatsala Temple
This 17th century stone temple, dedicated to a mother goddess, is full of
intricate works on stone.

Changu Narayan

ChangunarayanThis is the most ancient Hindu temple in Kathmandu, and is
dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Another fact is that the complex is built on a
peninsula which was not submerged in water as most of the flat valley once was.

and is literally littered with artistic and priceless statues, idols and
sculptures. Some date back to 4th century AD.
